Aerodynamics / Aerodynamic Cost / Aero parts

looks like my next road helmet/xmas present is sorted then :)

Taylor 'fast, windcutting dude on a hot day' Phinney in the house.

I'm using a 'PRO Aero Fuel' to mount a bidon behind the saddle.

Is there an option that would work with an Adamo that would bring the bidon closer to the saddle? Like a Specialized Reserve Rack but actually available. I'd prefer not to cut down the Adamo in case the whole cover peels off.

X-Lab Super Wing perhaps.

X-Lab Delta Wing

£90 = GTFO >>>

My normal xlab sits pretty close to my adamo anyway. According to the one side picture I unfortunately don't!

That's where you're meant to sit on an Adamo.

Do you know the model of X-Lab? Don't suppose you could take a closeup of your back end (wink wink)?

Yep i will do at the weekend, it's not actually attached at the moment, no idea what model it is, but can send pics with details in!

I now has a proper skinsuit + overshoes.

Just end some yellow electrical tape to cover up the blue bits on my helmet :)

I've stopped wearing overshoes #csb

I'm on/off with them. Had issues with numb feet in the past but then busted out a 293mi 12hr in them with little issue so fuck knows.

Hippy, it's a xlab carbon wing and with a bit of stretching will go around the tail of an adamo, and get pretty snug

Thanks Ed. Can you mount a single bottle cage on it directly in line with the saddle rather than the two cages on the sides? Check their site - looks like you can.

Shit, they're 90 quid as well.

No it's double or wonky.

The central built I'd for the co2 canister.

Actually I lied it looks like you can do a single central bottle, or possibly even three bottles...

How do they justify nearly £100 for those bits of metal?

They're crabon fibre, what more do you need to know?! ;)

Because triathlon.

:)

Ah didn't realise was crabon my bad
